H2H
The Hard To Handle alone is worth the price of admission. Pigpen really shines in the first set, with 5 out of 14 songs; the same as Jerry and one more than Bob!
This is also the first time I've heard Weir, not Garcia, sing "wish I was a headlight..." (Rider).
And the 'Miracle of Saint Stephen'! Love it!
but...
What is the purpose of segregating 14 seconds of drums and making it a separate track? It should be part of The Other One.

Lost in The Bronx
This was our second show. We got on the bus at The Yale Bowl that July, had our epiphany there when Pig did H2H. Gaelic Park just cemented us into the scene, and we're still riding(seeing DSO on Fri, Crazy Fingers on Sat. & Sun.). As I recall, "Park" is a misnomer. This was an open dirt field, that the Dead filled with glorious music (Empty Pages, St. Stephen). Had our first psychedelic experience when we drank from a wine skin passed to us (didn't know what hit us until we intentionally repeated the experience). This led to an interesting drive home to Brooklyn-we somehow wound up crossing the George Washington Bridge into NJ! Another friend, Steve, went to his car after the show, only to discover his spark plugs had been stolen, so the Bronx was not kind to us, except musically. 5 Stars for the adventure!

Way better than I remembered!!
Of course, in those days we all forgot a lot more than we remembered. I remember a bunch of crazies dancing on the roof's of the cars parked on the street next to the field during a long sound check on the afternoon of the show. I remember it being a damn good party. I remember witnessing the "Miracle of St. Stephen". During the 2nd set, one of our friends was in the process of having a bad LSD experience. Then St. Stephen started, and he immediately snapped out of it, and returned to normal, or at least normal under the circumstances.
Listening to this show reminds me of why I used to go to Dead shows.

Da Bronx?
Pigpen must have felt comfortable in the Bronx!
There are some issues with this mix and some other sonic anomalies (tape warble), and the playing is ragged at times, but what do you expect? Its the Bronx for chrisakes! You think they were going to play a beautiful Dark Star with elevated trains going by?
However, this is show is packed with some stunning highlights:
It's Pigs last show until December, and he shines! The Empty Pages is just unreal! H2H is simply dynamite, as is the first set Good Lovin'. The entire second set rocks!
I don't know whether this show is underated or over-hyped, but judging by the crackling energy more prevalent on the audience source, it must have been fun! (96 pts)

firsts
the first stella blue was indeed at Pigpens last show on 6/17/72 in which he played organ on. wish a good SBD would surface of this show. but the first Mississippi half-step was performed at Dillon stadium in Hartford CT on 7/16/72. theres a so-so SBD of this shows 2nd set with an AUD 1st set floating around on here.
as for this show.....pretty hot playing, great song selection. what more could you ask for? except for maybe a tiny tiny bit less hiss but im not complaining. it mostly seems to dissapear once i burn the show to cd an listen to it on my home stereo system for some reason. no idea why.
peaceee

The GRATEFUL DEAD "Live On Stage" August 26, 1971 at Gaelic Park, The Bronx, NYC, New York, U.S.A.

Charlie's version of this show is far superior to the other version listed on the IA, see below:

There is a new verison of the August 6, 1971 show on the IA and it sounds fantastic. Check it out, if it hasn't been yanked yet:

1971 is a precious year, it's nice to see these shows sounding so good. Keep up the good work. 1971 is a GOLD MINE.
All the shows from 1971 should undergo a complete 'facelift' audio speaking. 1971 is worth all the work it takes to make these shows sound new.
I highly recommend clicking on Charlie Miller's name and collecting all his GRATEFUL DEAD shows, he has impeccable taste.
Thank you Mr. Miller...
Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Thanks for the LOVE from 1971.

Not Pigpen's Last Show
Not sure where you got that info from. 6/17/72 Hollywood Bowl is his last show. Also first 1/2 Step and Stella.
Can't comment much on this source except to say it's mostly solid and from Charlie Miller so I imagine the quality is strong throughout.I can say emphatically that this is a criminally underrated show. Incredible versions abound throughout. For perspective's sake, 8/6/71 is one of the finest Audience recordings in music history, has a fun bertha and a great H2H. This Bertha is easily its equal and for my money, much better, aside from those 2 songs, 8/6 is like minor league ball compared with this show.
Much love for 8/6 but as one of the most dl'd and reviewed shows on archive it seemed a good comparison to make. Point being, don't miss out on this show.
